I think the official Adblock Plus may have more features than Dorian's basic adblock dll file. I prefer Dorian's dll because it is so much easier to install and use.

I suspect that if I used the same lists that you are using, then I would also have the problem with TV Guide.

I am working on another kmm module which will let users choose which subscription lists the dll will use. I have found the sites for Easylist and Fanboy. From your post, it sounds like you know of some other sites.

It would be really helpful to some if the OP of this thread was cleaned up, or a new one created. How to install this might be 2nd nature to many of you, but to a newcomer, it would be very confusing. Some things to add/change are:

I think both adblock75.zip and then adblock76.zip have to be installed? Need to say that. And why can't they be combined?

Where to create the kplugins folder in your personal profile location if you want to install the adblock there instead of in KM's location. In KM's, kplugins is in the root. I created kplugins as a subfolder under my profile folder (C:\Users\me\AppData\Roaming\K-Meleon\abcxyz.default\kplugins).

How to create kmeleon.plugins.adblock.subscriptions.
Where to find subscriptions.

Put link to latest adblock control macro in OP.

How to install the adblock control macro. Remove links througout thread to older macro versions. I had a hard time recently trying to figure out which version to install (with a new install).

Slickone,
no-no-no-no-no! It shouldn't be cleaned from older versions as they may be useful for further development (for example I've used last 2 versions of ABPcontrol to produce my own macro for next Pro-builds).

I can help you though.

1) adblock75.dll should be used only with KM75 (75.1)
and
adblock76.dll - only with KM76
I think this is fairly transparent.

2) user profile folder structure is the same as rootfolder one.

3) for now subscription sources are hardcoded in dll themselves or can be changed by macro hardcoding (altering the macrocode with your URLs)

(you need links leading directly to txt-files not 'abp:subscribe'-links)

4) kmeleon.plugins.adblock.subscriptions pref is created automatically and filled according to hardcoded settings of kplugin or macro.
You can alter the value of this pref manually for sure, but if you'll use ABP BAB (Basic AdBlock) control macro, it will replace your subs URLs with hardcoded once as soon as it defined by macro variables/settings.

I fully understand it's confusing. The most important thing that most people aren't even aware of is that there are actually _3_ different adblock extensions for KM now! And all three completely independant of each other. And all that adblock-talk sounds so similar, it keeps one constantly on the toes - hm ok, which one exactly are we talking about at the moment??
Yes it would make a lot of sense to put an up-to-date summary in the beginning of the thread. Or in post-2 would be good enough too
There are already lots of great explanations around, just too shattered around.

QuoterodocopYou can alter the value of this pref manually for sure, but if you'll use ABP control macro, it will replace your subs URLs with hardcoded once as soon as it defined by macro variables/settings.
5) the latest version of ABP control macro is this one

Exactly what I mean: "ABP" is the well-known Adblock Plus Addon, not the BasicAdblock from KM7X. Those 3 different adblocks are so mixed upthat even we as regulars here keep confusing their names and that misleads readers again.
(Frankly, that hardcoded-URL-sub stuff is now confusing myself too, at least without looking it up first and researching the macro contents, LOL!)

QuotemhalUpon restart I was told between "4000 and 4600KB of data" had to be downloaded. I had no choice but to comply.

I understand you just want to get rid of it, but am confused. Just looked inside the latest kmm-macro file, version 2.7 as posted above by rodocop. This "4000k-question" is not just an infoline, but clearly a "confirm" command that asks for yes or no. Are you really sure you had no choice? Perhaps clicked "No" and forgot it again, and that would explain why it doesn't do "anything"...? Aside from 1 of the 2 lists being a french version by default

PS: if you want to know what it downloads exactly or to change the default paths, just open the kmm-file with notepad and search for "4000". Just a bit below are the download links. 2 txt-files, seems like they go into the profile folder (Edit/Config./Profile Directory)
The macro also uses some prefs which could be checked in about:config

By the way the paths and prefs and files are listed in the beginning of the kmm-file!
